hmm.. must have missed your try to propagate, but anyhow: A great idea!
The licensing-question for the Zend-Part still stays (if we can really
do what we want), but with books we have also some other decision-points
(have to leave urgently, so it might be very incomplete):
Integration into the phpdoc-path?
Build-handling: "semi-integrated" like the howto?
Should it be provided at www.php.net
only as a compressed file?
etc.
Maybe we can get a detailed aim to write at least into the todo?
Cu,
Thomas
